National trade union conference opens today with president's support

The National Trade Union Conference begins today (7th) at 9.30 am at the P.D. Sirisena grounds in Colombo, with the support of the president.

The event has been organised to mark the government's completion of two years in office.

Representatives of the trade union sector are gathering for the occasion, which is expected to bring together voices from across the labour movement at a moment when wage and cost-of-living questions are at the centre of public debate.
